DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention consists of a mophead (1) (FIG. 1) constructedfrom a cloth (4) preferably of terry cloth fibers such as a towelapproximately 13″ by 15″ (FIG. 2) but can vary in size, said mophead (1)(FIG. 1) is designed to cover a sponge mop (3) FIG. 1) with a handle (2)(FIG. 1) and the cloth (4) is cut in two equal sections (4) (FIG. 2) andstitched back together (6) (FIG. 3) leaving a 3½ inch opening in themiddle (7) (FIG. 3) to insert the handle (2) (FIG. 1) of a sponge mop(2) (3) (FIG. 1) then the four sides (8) (FIG. 4) are turned over andstitched down for design purposes, and one section of the cloth (4) isturned over the other section of the cloth equally to form a doublethickness mophead (9) (FIG. 5). And the sides (10) (FIG. 5) of themophead are stitched together to secure both sections together, leavingthe corners and bottoms of the mophead (11) (12) open to insert a spongemop with a handle (2) (3). The mophead has two functional parts, the 3½opening in the middle to insert a mop handle and the openings in thecorners and bottoms of the mophead to insert a sponge a mop and ahandle.

I claim:
 1. A method for making a mophead comprising the steps of usinga cloth material preferably of terrycloth towelling material having aright side and a wrong side, fabricating therefrom a pattern with a topedge and a bottom edge of preferably of about 13 inches by 16 inches anda 3½ inch opening is made on the cloth in either one of two differentconstructions, the first method is where the cloth is cut across in twoequal sections and the two sections are stitched leaving a 3½ inchopening in the middle, then the seams on both sides are stitched down tolie flat, and then the top of the cloth is turned over to meet thebottom of the cloth evenly with wrong sides together right sides up toform a double thickness mophead both sections are stitched together atthe sides, to secure both sides together and the corners and bottoms areleft open to insert a spongemop.
